I know, I use it my self. I also disable it after start up. You should get in the habit of disabling a few programs on start up if you are going to play games on your computer

[Digmaster]

my computer runs fine with games :/ but I do disable tons of things. Its jsut I go long tiems without turning off my computer. I prefer standby

if your a rebel get a trojan file put it on a flash drive and upload it into their main control center

SPYBOT SEARCH & DESTROY

That is the ONLY anti-spyware software that I trust.

[Rekuddo]

Obviously you did something to loose your parent's trust or they just don't trust you at all to be on the computer and they want to be those "Concerned Parents".

That. And avast.

[Ephialtes]

You could try typing in something like "wfejiwejfiwoejf" then restarting your PC and searching for that in all your files and folders. Unless she's got it emailing in which case it requires an internet connection so whack Windows Firewall on and see if there are any curious exceptions for internet use.

This, try this.

I've changed all my passwords

That's not going to help if you have a keylogger, it'd still record all the new passwords. Try using the onscreen keybored when you type in new passwords, it should get past that.

And I doubt your parents would willingly install a keylogger on your computer... What site were you on?

[Duckmeister]

Wow, if my parents really wanted to know my password for anything, they could just ask.  Tell your mother to stop using very intrusive options of getting your personal information.  She's your mother, just say "Mom, if you really wanted to know, you could just ask."

Or, she may just be playing mind games with you so that you are more careful about which sites you visit.

But definitely, run AVG 8.5 Free.  It won't scan for rootkits (in 8 it did, but Avast are a bunch of handicapped jerks), but it will scan for keyloggers.

[Wedge]

Long ago my parents isntalled a keylogger on their computer in order to get my gmail password. I've changed it so now thats fine. However I fear they might have installed one on my computer; my mom kinda hinted to this fact.

How do I check if this stuff is here and how do I remove it?

If you're using firefox there is an extension called KeyScrambler that will scramble your key strokes so software based key loggers can't read them. It will probably work well enough against whatever you think your parents are trying to use.
